Here’s a super silly summary of an event at Metro Diner: Twas a fortnight after Christmas when all throughout Metro, not a stomach was grumbling, not one single diner. The Southside restaurant’s event table was set with Yelp swag and great care. The servers stood ready to make sure the food would get there. We…
Hendricks street is full of hidden surprises. First I discovered Aardwolf for some craft beers, then Vee’s for post beer pizza, then La Nopa for Cinco De Mayo Margs, and last night, bb’s. While they serve dinner and have a full menu, I was there to meet the friends for some cake. So I experienced…
I’m entering some uncharted territory here – it’s so hipster it hurts- Food Truck Reviews. But listen, before you dismiss this mention of food on wheels, let me explain. I came across this convenient dining offering when I was attending a goodbye outing for my friend Megan who is moving to Delaware. Can we have…
Dick’s in San Pablo is a solid place to enjoy wings, beer and a good ol’ night of trivia. Excellent service even when the place is full to the brim. Fun menu options including waffle fries and oozing, cheesy quesadillas. Very cheery trivia crowd, lots of seating and fairly family friendly. Decent prices. Trivia night…
[Closed 2019] I’m a big fan of sauces. I dream of one day going to a restaurant where your entree consists of a sauce platter and the meat, potatoes, veggies and bread are merely a side note to the smorgasbord of flavors introduced by your sauces. Seasons of Japan is a restaurant that gets…
[Closed March 2019] Best Pizza in Jacksonville Are you ready to try an absolutely decadent pizza that you will dream of for months after eating? Of all the unique places in Jacksonville, and surpassing even tasty chains like Mellow Mushroom, is Chicago Pizza at the Landing. Quit your diet, this is a reason to carb…
Let’s talk about some savory grilling out smells, ribs dripping with sauce and all those reliable bar-b-que sides that make a platter excellent. I visited The Pig Bar-B-Q today for a work lunch. This location has a large seating area (especially for restaurants on Old St. Augustine Road). The open floor was ideal for spreading…
Not every brunch dawns with the smell of cozy coffee, poached eggs and Napalm. Some Saturdays bring in a breakfast buffet that doesn’t satisfy – where the execution of meal is nearly as disappointing as your last online dinner date. My apologies, Another Broken Egg by Tinseltown, but you broke 4 wee hearts this weekend…
“Bayor Cafe?” “Bayard Cafe.” “Baer cafe? Bayer? Can you text me the address?” “Just google map it. You don’t know how to Google?” “I don’t know how to spell it though. Bear cafe?” “Fine, I’ll send you the address. See you in 20.” Ironing out the details to figure out where to eat is always…
Interested in a pizza parlor with an indie vibe? Carmines sits in a neighborhood that one of the locals, a waiter at Kickbacks, described as the place where greasers hang out. If that sounds like your scene or you are just starving for some garlic bread, check out Carmines. It reminds me of Orlando’s Lazy…
